The Grand Marival Nuevo Vallarta

We stayed at the Grand Marival in Nuevo Vallarta in July 2006. http://gomarival.com/home.aspx We had a vacation of a lifetime. Gammy (Hoyt) joined us a few days after we got there. We recommend this all-inclusive resort for anyone. There was a lot of things to do from relaxing by the pool to snorkeling, kyaking, boogie boarding to spinning classes and cooking classes. We all enjoyed the nightly entertainment which was a different show each night. Below is a picture of the "quiet pool" as compared to the "activity pool" where there was non-stop music, games, activities and so on...

Puerto Vallarta 2006

We have prime seating for the nightly show under las palapas which seated over 200 people. This is where they also held Sunday Mass. Same mother same father, I swear.

Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe Downtown Puerto Vallarta outside the market, Blain looking for a Louis Vouitone knock-off. Paxton spent many, many hours creating this masterpiece. He had several people stop on the beach to take picutes and pose next to his beach fort.

Downtown Puerto Vallarta and the humidy was absolutely crazy!!!! Blain found some shade and enjoyed a Coca~Cola out of the bottle.

Me and my Mommy : )
As Blain was 17, these were VIRGIN straberry daquiries! Notice her bright geen wrist-band which meant under age. The adults had black wrist-bands.

Blain did put on a rather impressive karioke show of "Baby Got Back" by Sir-Mix-A-Lot. She had standing ovations. Sadly, the rest of the trip people referred to me as "the girl that could really sing's mom." The girls in the pool.
Outside of our hotel.
Pretty smile!!!!!!

What a cool young man we have. Avery playing in the waterfall. It was refreshing I must say.
Avery got her hair braided by Maria. Blain talked Maria down from 40 bucks to 20. It took her 20 minutes to put them in and about for hours for me to take them out, ugh!
